NOVAMATH Thematic Weeks 2023

Mathematical Models in Health

5 - 13 July

The Center for Mathematics and Applications (NOVA Math) invites you to the NOVA Math Thematic Weeks 2023, with an emphasis on Mathematical models for Health, jointly organized by the NOVA Math’s Thematics Lines, Biomathematics, Mathematics for Health, and Data Science.

The event is intended for students, researchers, and professionals interested in extending their knowledge on the mathematical methods, computational tools, and technologies covered. Participants at the interface between mathematics, computer, and health and medical sciences will have the opportunity to attend seminars on the underlying theory and concepts, practical hands-on sessions using the R language, and participate in informal discussions.
